Taj Mahal Degraded
1 December 2005
Warning: Spoilers
A film which took years to make and the producer boasted of a big budget spent on the film. When you see the film you wonder where was the money spent? Non Star Cast, Card Board Sets, Garish Make-up(looked as if the actors faces had been painted with spray paint.)Technically poor, Direction or let me correct it misdirection is there in plenty. In the technical department even student films are of a higher quality.

The story was to be the true story but Akbar Khan has distorted history beyond recognition. Its appalling to watch history being turned and twisted to the whims of the ignorant so called director. The actors need to be sent back to a acting school to learn the very basics of acting. The performances are extremely poor and its shocking how such a talent less crew was selected.

Sex has been added and obscene content has been forcibly added to market the film. Even on this front too the director fails miserably. Its untrue of what has been depicted and is completely out of place...Its done in an extremely crude manner and leaves with a sick feeling in your stomach.

The music is in sync with the rest of the movie as it too is of very poor quality. Naushad was a big name in the era of the fifties but by trying to comeback he has tarnished his image. Its not his fault as people become senile with age but what about the director who took him.

The film director is to old in his thoughts as the results reflect in the drab romantic scenes. He should have seen more work of the younger generations or at least called them to give him some tips on technical know how on today's level of film-making.It has the look of TV serials made in India about fifteen years ago.

On the whole Taj Mahal has been degraded to an all time low. The Only hope is that due its Disastrous box office result this awful film will not reach the audience who have discarded this distortion of history.
